Green Co. s report on cotton futures says
| Offerings continued TO exceed the demand and
the market had weak sort of tone throughout,
The most decided Offering WAS of August,
| holders appearing anxious to quit that month,
but other options We're influenced, and all along
| the line prices receded. AS for some time past
| operations were confined to narrow channels
and appeared to include very little i'll the way of
| a new element, except possibly an addition TO
short side, as the South is reported to be sell
| ing. AdviceS from abroad were tame and con
! tributed to an easy feeling here. August lost
| about points and the balance of the months 3
| 90, from which there was small recovery and
| The close was about steady"

CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-There a fair-sized
crowd in all the pits to-day ON Change, though
the bulk of the speculative business seemed in
clined to continue centering in corn. Corn was
rather unsettled and irregular, ruling active at
times and at Others quiet. Trading was fair and
chiefly in May Rain reported in Kansas, Ne
braska Iowa and Illinois tended to create an
easier feeling aud prices for the first hour tend
ed down. but later ruled more firm under less
pressure to sell. The quantity in store here in
creased 322 80 bushels the past week, bringing
the total stock in store down to 1,792O 600 bushels
aud the visible supply increased 5O7 900 bushels.
This, together with the Illinois agricultural re-
port that late rains had not done much good to
crops had a tendency to steady the market.
The market opened 1S49Sc under Saturday S
closing was firm at times fluctuated frequently
within narrow range then became easier upon
more liberal offerings declining A03sc, parti-
ally recovered changed some ana Closed 14Gg28c
lower than Saturday. Wheat operators who
had calculated upon further advance to-day in
anticipation of q drop in the visible supply were
somewhat di disappointed. This however, can be
accounted for from the fact that offerings were
quite large d iring the first hour of the session.
Parties who had bought during Thursday Fri
day aud Saturday of last week. feeling satisfied
with small profits, were selling out their hold
ings and this caused a weakening.
Prices after opening about 14c higher,
therefore. soon began to decline and
a reduction OF sc occurred. At this point the
decline was checked and the market again
showed strength, prices recovering 3s015c and
closed about Il lower than Saturday The 81
BILE supply showed q decrease of $4,000 bushels
against an increase last year of 74S goo bush
els. For oa.S there was a decline of 11Olac in
tue speculative market. Orders were not arge
an 4 trading was only moderate. Large arrivals
of oats an increase in stocks and lower mar
ket for corn caused prices to decline. After de
clinng the feeling was steader and there was "a
partial reaction. A quiet and rather dull feeling
prevailed in the market for hog products and
lower prices were accepted for leading specula-
tive articles particularly for longer deliveries.
Local operators were inclined 10 sell, and some
outside orders Of the same character were re-
ceived while the demand from all sources was
limited, buying being credited chiefly to shorts.
but this feature appeared to have no influence
on the course OF prices. The steadiness in corn
was regarded rather uufavorably, especially by
those who were inclined to the bear side Of the
market for new products. Trading was chiefly
